Savory Turkey Tacos - Low Carb

Meal #1 - Perfect for a Monday Night!


   This weekend was spent enjoying family as Magan's Mom flew into Orange County!  Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, and plenty of shopping was the agenda for most of the past couple days.    With a Monday of work the last thing on our mind is cooking so this is a 'staple' meal for us as it takes about 15 minutes to throw together!


Recipe:


1 lb - Ground Turkey (preferably 99/1)
1 (8 oz) Can - Hunts Tomato Sauce (no salt added)
1 Can - Whole Kernel Corn (low sodium)
1 Can - Black Beans (low sodium)
Cilantro
Lime Juice
Avocado
Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
'Smart & Delicious' Low-Carb/High Fiber tortillas
Cumin
Season Salt
Garlic Powder


Make the salsa by draining first, then combining the corn and black beans in a mixing bowl.  Add cilantro and lime juice to your liking. (It takes a good amount of lime juice.) Put in Refrigerator.


Brown Ground Turkey in skillet over medium heat.  Season meat with Cumin, Season Salt, and Garlic Powder.  Once browned add can of Tomato sauce, mix thoroughly, and turn down heat to low.


Warm tortillas right before serving - Combine meat, salsa, sprinkle with cheese, and add 2-3 slices of avocado.   Enjoy!

Ladies:  If you'd like to avoid carbs altogether this makes a perfect taco salad!
Guys:    For a Post-Workout meal add 1 cup Brown rice to each taco - burrito style!
